Code:Why God made Ohio
Once upon a time in the Kingdom of Heaven, God was missing
for six days. Eventually, Michael the archangel found him,
resting on the seventh day.
He inquired of God, "Where have you been?"
God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed
downwards through the clouds, "Look Michael, look what
I've made."
Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said, "What is it?"
It's a planet," replied God, "and I've put Life on it. I'm
going to call it Earth and it's going to be a great place
of balance."
"Balance?" inquired Michael, still confused.
God explained, pointing to different parts of earth, "For
example, northern Europe will be a place of great opportunity
and wealth while southern Europe is going to be poor; the
Middle East over there will be a hot spot.
Over there I've placed a continent of white people and over
there is a continent of black people," God continued, pointing
to different countries.
"This one will be extremely hot and arid while this one will
be very cold and covered in ice."
The Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to a large
land mass and said, "What's that one?"
"Ah," said God. "That's OHIO, the most glorious place on earth.
There are beautiful lakes, rivers, sunsets and rolling hills.
The people from OHIO are going to be modest, intelligent and
humorous and they are going to be found traveling the world.
They will be extremely sociable, hard working and high achieving,
and they will be known throughout the world as diplomats and
carriers of peace."
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed,
"What about balance, God? You said there would be balance!"
God replied wisely, "Wait until you see the idiots I'm putting
around them in Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia and
Pennsylvania. "
Only someone who has grown up in Ohio would forward this e-mail.
